British Columbia Liberal MLA and deputy speaker, Linda Reid, ran into a bit of technical trouble yesterday when it was found out that instead of linking to her own website on Twitter and Facebook, the links lead to a teen porn site instead. It was probably just a mistake on the part of whoever was in charge of it, because they put lindareid.com — go ahead, check it out, for research (NSFW) — instead of lindareid.bc.ca. The site, called Teen Flesh, is hosted by GoDaddy, but is protected by Domains by Proxy. This makes finding the owners of the site tricky. However, Reid told the CBC yesterday that she believes to have been the victim of a hack. “We will certainly get to the bottom of it,” she told CBC News. “There’s no way in the world we’d want to give anyone any notoriety for hacking into websites.”

The incident also revealed that Reid’s website doesn’t contain financing authorization, which is in violation of the Elections Act. The B.C. election only started 2 days ago, and Reid’s gaffe isn’t even the first. The election will take place on May 14th.
